Why Invest in Australian Farmland?
China has 21% of the world’s population, but only 7% of the world’s arable farmland.
Australia is a net exporter of foodstuffs, exporting over 60% of its agricultural produce. With a population of 20 million, Australia feeds 60 million mouths a day.
Australia has a stable, transparent and conservative system of government that is actively supportive of the agricultural sector and of foreign investment in Australian agriculture. English is the native language.
Australia’s legal and financial systems are strong, transparent and well regulated. There is little 'sovereign risk'.
Australia is strategically located with close proximity to over three billion aspirational people with increasingly westernized, protein based diets. Distance to market and cost of transport will be a real issue of the future.
Agriculture and farmland are now recognized as a new investment asset class that is not correlated to mainstream asset classes. Globally, the availability of farmland is in decline. This is classic 'investment in scarcity'.
Compared to other developed economies, Australian farmland may be considered as being undervalued.
Australia has a robust, innovative, production driven agricultural economy that is forecast to continue to grow as global demand for soft commodities increases.
Australia offers abundant scale that few other countries can achieve, which in turn offers strategic opportunities for assuring food security.
Australia is well positioned to help address the growing concerns of global food security.
By global standards, investing in Australian farmland is generally considered to be 'safe'.
